A General Fnilome or Recent Occur rences Around and About lT, From the Mountains to the Sea, as Culled from our State raiers. Rev. G. P. Hamrick has been elected pastor of Shelby Baptist church. He is a young minister of much promise. Dr. Gatling, the North Carolina in ventor, says he will produce an ice ma chine that will make ice at one tenth of the present cost. Prof. George A.

Joseph Farmer, a young white man liv ing about three miles from Wilson was struck and killed by lightning, during a storm on Sunday evening. There is a proposition on foot among Alliance men to build a leaf tobacoo ware house in Winston, and the Tobacco Asso ciation at that place will offer liberal in ducements. Winston covered herself with glory June 17. The proposition to issue $200, 000 worth of bonds for city improvements was overwhelmingly carried, not a single vote against it. Trustees of the estate of W. T. Black well, of Durham, who failed for a heavy amount a few months ago, have announced a dividend of 10 per cent in favor of the creditors, which makes a total of 90 per cent of all the liabilities. The Cape Fear and Yadkin Valley Rail road branch, that taps the Deep River factory section, has been completed down as far as Columbia Factory, and the schedule from that point will be put in operation on next Monday. Reports are received of a fatal battle between revenue officers and "moon shiners," near-Snow, in which two men and one horse of the raiding party were killed. It is also reported that some of "moonshiners" suffered severely in the fight. Tom Dixon's lecture, "Backbone," is pleasing the people all over the State. The Charlotte Chronicle said of it: "The lecture was grand; it was eloquent, har monious and powerful. The speaker led his audience as if by magic from the humorous to the sublime." On June 3d, Rev.W. A. Wilson, a gradu ate of the University, class 1S89, sailed from San Francisco for Japan. He is one of the young men who pledged himself as a missionary while at the University. The Y. M. C. A. there defrayed his ex penses to Japan, which amounted to about $300. North Carolina boys are in the lead. In the fourth class at West Point, George P. Howell, of North Carolina, and R. P John ston, of North Carolina, were honor men; Howell being first in English and first in mathematics and first in French; John ston second in English and second in mathematics. The West bound passenger train of the W. N. C. Railroad, was wrecked a mile and a half from Marshall Saturday even ing about G o'clock. There were twenty five or thirty passengers on loard.

Scarborough, of Knoxville, who received a concussion of the brain, and died. W. Thomas Henderson, of Dallas, who had been suffering with typhoid fever for three weeks, had several hemorrhages from the bowels all amounting to two gal lons, which produced such exhaustion as to make it evident that death would soon follow unless something was done to re place the vital fluid which he had lost. To meet this emergency, on Wednesday eyening, June 11th, Dr. Jenkins, of Dal las, and Dr. Wilson, of Gastonia, per formed the operation of transfusion, using the blood of a lamb, introducing about one quart of this blood, whi"h was fol lowed by immediate improvement, and he now shows marked improvement and every evidence of a rapid recovery.

The latest accounts from the cyclone which passed over a portion of Granville on Sunday, show that much damage w: s done to the tobacco, oat and corn crops. At Mr. Fielding' Knott's seyeral barns were unroofed, pieces scattered in every direction,' and greatly damaged his crop. Messrs. Stephen Minor, J. L. Clay, L. L. Crews, Harvey Hobgood. R. T. Averett and Elijah Averett, all suffered severely from the storm, having their tobacco, oats, wheat and corn almost ruined. Trees wore blown down to such .an ex tent in that neighborhood that Mr. Clay, road overseer, had to summons hands to clear the roads of trees. Mr. T. B. Daniel had his covered wagon standing in the yard, and the wind lilted the body and carried it some distance away. At Hargrove the side of a small house was blown away, and a large number of trees blowTn down. One fell across the O. & C. Railroad, and the passenger train Sunday afternoojn had to stop until it could be cleared iiw-a'. Near Wilton the pack house of Mr. Thos. Harris was blown down, and the timbers scattered in every direction. The carriage house of Mr. W. N. Harris, one of our worthy County Commissioners was taken away hy the wind and demolished his carriage. The same fate bejel Mr. J. C. Rogers, and he is also minus ji carriage. Mr. Jas. Ball who lives near the Wake line had his horse st;ibles and corn crib carried away, scattering corn in every di rection. Mr. B. C. May, who is a near neighbor to Mr. Ball, had every house on his plantation leveled to the. ground with the exception of ; his dwelling. No one was hurt so far a-3 we have heard, in tids neighborhood. ; This is the firi time that a cyclone ever visited Granville county, and our people are perfectly willing to let it be the last from the serious amount of damage it in flicted upon our. hard working fanners.

A special correspondence trout Ashe ville to the State Chronicle says: The Farmers' Alliance in this section is rapidly growing in numbers and influence. West of the Blue Rhtge there are about 15,000 members. Every county is well organized.

T. B. Long and Gen. R. B. Vance and . other speakers, have strengthened the Alliance very greatly by their efforts in attending public sperikings and picnics.

A iood Appetite Is essential to good health ; but at this season it is often lost,joving to the poverty or impu rity of the blood, derangement of tlie digestive organs, and the weakening effect of the changing season.
